Just searched for this in both Debian and Ubuntu and there is no result 
for xdg-su. There is also no mentioning of xdg-su on 
cgit.freedesktop.org.

All I could find is mentioning on github with (verbatim quote): "The 
xdg-su script is an unmaintained part of xdg-utils package".

Based on that I looked into xdg-utils on cgit.freedesktop.org and well 
it exists but doesn't get installed.

Sorry, but I don't think we need to support this tool. An unreleased 3rd 
party tool poking into internals of our software - really, we don't need 
to support that.

Cheers
